road works possibly being the spirit of Belfast,thought the little girl is trying to react against this.
After a brief day in the city of Lautoka, Fiji, ms Noordam is setting sail (or revving up the bunker fuel diesels) and heading to Pago, Pago (American Samoa). The Maika Tora port tugboat is escorting the Noordam away from the dock.
The crew were frantically waving us off - or did we forget someone on shore?
Nice advents weekend!

Just a few more shots to come from a recent trip to Lincolnshire during which we stayed at the amazing Mannakin Hall near Grantham. We hired their Airstream camper van and then next morning went for a wander with our cameras.

From www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2e7gwpz084o , "A sea of body parts is an unusual sight to behold. Legs, heads, the odd foot, as far as the eye can see. For Roz Edwards, it's just another day working inside what some would consider their worst nightmare - a mannequin emporium.
“Apparently, you can see it from space,” says Roz, gesturing to the gargantuan mound of plastic body parts in an array of colours.
Strewn in piles behind her, the figures are eerily human-like, and standing in front them, she appears as their leader, unwaveringly smiling. “I always say I was abducted by mannequins,” she laughs. Roz loans out mannequins and some of her 15,000-strong "family" have even flirted with fame, featuring in a music video with Mika and at Glastonbury with Lady Gaga.
But for the most part, they live at Mannakin Hall - a disused RAF station in Fulbeck, near Grantham, where Roz has been running her business for 17 years."

West Malvern Playing Fields, West Malvern, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 6 June 2013.
About this photograph.
This lady is doing a Zumba aerobic fitness at a local outdoor festival called West Fest in West Malvern. She appears to be a Zumba instructor and was there as part of promotion, to encourage the public to get interested, and also as part of a free trail promotion, as she instructs a few people who had a go, on how to do the Zumba.
The Zumba aerobic fitness first started life in the 1990s by choreographer and dancer called Beto Perez, in Colombia. And in 2001, he partnered with two others to turn it into a business, and named it Zumba.
It is a form of aerobics fitness often done in the form of dancing to the music, and became a worldwide success.

West Malvern Playing Fields, West Malvern, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 6 June 2013.
About this photograph.
I was at the 2013 West Fest outdoor festival event, simply because a friend of mine asked me to come along, and like any photographers do, I simply bring my camera along in case I could try to get some street-style candid photos or whatever I can find. I was not there to do photography, simply being there for a friend of mine, which is why I never bothered to write down any information on what happened during the festival, not even names of any musicians.
So I really have no information about who there are, if it’s just a singer with a backing band, or if they’re actually a group. They were playing on stage during a very hot sunny afternoon while I sat across the field, I think. Or maybe I was sitting in one of the tents.
I tried to frame the shot so that it would includes the drummer as well as the lead singer and the two guitarist. The photo was originally shot in colour, but lot of dehazing is needed, and I decided on a good old fashion black and white looks, so I converted it into black and white in Adobe Lightroom.
Malvern used to host an outdoor music festival called West Fest (or WestFest without a space), and was usually at the West Malvern Playing Fields, but I don’t know what happened to it nowadays.
A well spent bit of time in a darkened alleyway with the perfect damsel(sometimes) in distress..
Thank you Khaliesi for a rather fun photoshoot… Please visit her stream to see her versions
Fish out of water
Hesitating before venturing any further into the dark alleyway, she collects her thoughts:
Sure is creepy enough here, but that man at the service station had said that cutting through this alley would be the quickest way on foot….
It was a good thing that he noticed my engine leaking some fluid when I pulled up for gas..
He had offered to fix it for free while I was at the show…
I wanted to call a taxi, but he said that it would take like an hour to come, and I do not want to be late for the theatre….so he most kindly told me about this short cut, he didn’t mention that it was through a nasty alley though, must have forgotten…
Such a nice young man, even though I did not care much about all his tattoos….and that spikey mohawk of his! ( giggles to herself)
Well I better scurry, it’s probably just down this way….
Oh wait, someone is coming this way, maybe he can be of help to me….
That is odd, he has a cane, but he is not using it properly… looks like he is pulling on the handle.
Maybe he is in need of assistance also…
Hails out to him as she disappears from view.. “Oh sir?”
Then all is silence………
Bee cleaning his or her head looking like its putting there hands up for arrest. bee was sat still on my dustbin just before sundown. posed very still for me to take a picture. great detail on the eyes.
Monte Creek Ranch Winery is just east of Kamloops, BC. The area is famous for the last train robbery in 1906 by the notorious “Gentleman Bandit” Billy Miner who was captured near this view. We enjoyed the winery's Hands Up White.
Den of thieves
Shoot , she muttered, dead end.
Sure is creepy enough here, but that man at the service station had said that cutting through this east end alley would be the quickest way on foot….
It was a good thing that he noticed my engine leaking some fluid when I pulled up for gas..
He had offered to fix it for free while I was at the show…
Such a nice young man, even though I did not care much about all his tattoos….
Well I do not want to be late, should probably cut down this alleyway here.
Looks like people milling about, so it should be safe enough innit?
Safety in numbers, that’s what me Grams’ always sayin..
Perhaps one of em could show me the way? She thought cheerfully to erself as she turned and swished her way down the dimly lit alleyway with its shadowy figures inhabitants…
A few Minutes later.
She finally made it through, just around the corner they had said.
What a friendly lot, not atoll as scary as they had first looked. Hugs, admiration of her dress, excited to see her. She never usually received that much attention, not even at the pub, Poet and Peasant, were she would be heading later, after the show….
She looked back, they all seemed to have scurried off on their own business..
She had invited them to meet up later, she hoped they wo’od come.
With these thoughts meandering about, she turned the corner and swished off towards the city lights ahead…..
For my beloved Group PAREIDOLIA celebrating its 20th Birthday 🎂 !
The Ghost Mystic Tree, waving its arms in the sky. Actually hiding a second most interesting Pareidolia...
If you zoom in, find a human figure leaning against the tree trunk, evoking, to me at least, the Martyr Saint Sebastian,
hit by the first arrow. So terrible.
Eventually, few days later, the dead trunk just lost its arms due to heavy wind and rainfalls. Ok, he was gone, sowieso.

....you are under arrest.
This is The Old Police House which is now a private residence.
Notice the old set of stocks on the lawn too.
Short on time today so I went through my recent archives and found this image I'd created, but never posted.
